ORLANDO, Fla. – Agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement have arrested Doreece J. Hines, 31, of Daytona Beach, on two counts of falsifying records. Hines was employed as a child protective investigator for the Department of Children and Families. She has been terminated. In April 2017, agents launched an investigation into allegations that Hines had falsified documents in the Florida Safe Families Network. Hines was assigned a case involving a child with bruises on the child’s body. The investigation revealed Hines documented she made a visit to the child’s home and spoke with a parent to determine if the child was in present danger. It was later found no visit to the child’s home or conversation took place. Hines entered incorrect information in her case notes and later tried to change those notes. Hines also failed to follow protocol and notify law enforcement and the child protection team about her case. She was booked into the Volusia County Jail. The Office of the State Attorney, 7th Circuit, will prosecute.
